Hydrometric stations — Guyana

Device installed on a site to observe and measure a specific magnitude related to hydrology (height or flow). It is usually a limnimetric scale that allows the observation of water height.

A station may carry a height and/or flow rate (directly measured or calculated from a docking curve).
Each station has one or more sensors (= apparatus measuring a size, height or flow).

Depending on their characteristics, the data measured (Height/Flow) by this equipment can be accessed on the websites:

Hydro Bank (http://www.hydro.eaufrance.fr/)

Vigicrues (http://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr/)

National Lowlands Observatory (http://onde.eaufrance.fr/)

Refer to the SANDRE dictionary “Hydrometric Reference” for the definition of hydrometric sites and stations:

These stations are identified in the national hydrological bank, operated by the State services. The owners/operators of these stations are either state and community services or private operators. To date, the completeness of the data is in the order of 90 %.
